.The Secret Garden City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Margaret O'Brien, Herbert Marshall, Dean Stockwell, Gladys Cooper, Elsa Lanchester directed by: Fred M. Wilcox December 31, 1992 I'd have to say this is the best movie made from the classic novel by Burnett. They really don't make them like this anymore. The acting from the children is stellar and the atmosphere is great. It's just fun to watch. The spooky setting in the old house on the moors, the mystery in the story is told really well, and the sets are beautiful. The characters are brought to life by Margaret Obrien, Dean Stockwell, and Brian Roper who play Mary Lennox, Colin Craven and Dicken respectively. Of the three characters, it's hard to choose a favorite, but Dicken is so well done and his way with animals and nature makes him a much loved character. I would love to see this version on DVD (not remastered, which I think ruins old movies.) ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Secret Garden |

.Gremlins City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Hoyt Axton, John Louie, Keye Luke, Don Steele, Susan Burgess directed by: Joe Dante August 10, 2004 i liked "Gremlins" a lot.i thought it was well acted and funny.it also had some black humour,which i liked.i liked the look of the gremlins.they would probably be scary for some children.they are quite freaky looking.i thought the puppetry was amazing.for the most part it really looked like these creatures were doing what the movie showed them doing.the gremlins were hysterical at times in what they said and how they acted.this is my idea of a good horror/comedy.it balances both elements well.it think the potential was there for the movie to be really awful,but good writing makes all the difference.anyway,i really enjoyed the movie.for me,"Gremlins" is a 4/5 >>See More Reviews & Details on Gremlins |

.The Thornbirds City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward, Barbara Stanwyck, Christopher Plummer, Jean Simmons directed by: Daryl Duke January 08, 2002 I just received my Thorn Birds DVD and am so thrilled to be able to watch it on DVD - 487 minutes of viewing in extraordinary color and excellent sound quality! There are 2 discs, with 2 sides to each disc. With all the scenes listed it is so easy to zip back to a particularly favorite scene to watch again. I always loved this mini-series. The musical score is amazing. The actors are excellent, each one perfectly chosen for their role. The child Sydney Penney who plays the young Meggie does a wonderful job. And of course there are no words to describe the amazing performance by Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward, let alone the other lead actors and actresses. This series definitely tugs at your heart strings because there is no way a happy ending will occur. ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Thornbirds |

.Fox and the Hound City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS from: Buena Vista March 01, 1994 This is one of my favorite Disney movies. When Widow Tweed takes in a baby fox, whose mother had been shot by hunters, she names it Tod and raises it. About the same time she takes Tod in, her neighbor, Amos Slade brings home a hound dog puppy named Copper. One day in the woods, Copper and Tod meet and instantly become the best of friends. When fall comes and Amos takes an unwilling Copper along for his winterlong hunting trip, Tod tries to convince his friends, Big Mama, Dinky and Boomer that even though Copper will come back a trained hunting dog, that they will still stay the best of friends. Big Mama tells Tod that a fox and a hound are natural enemies and that, surprise, you ARE a fox. When the two are finally reunited in the spring, Copper ...

.I Saw What You Did City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Joan Crawford, John Ireland, Leif Erickson, Sarah Lane, Andi Garrett directed by: William Castle August 24, 1999 William Castle's B thriller is very suspenseful and ideal for dark, late Saturday night viewing. Top-billed Joan Crawford is dressed glamourously throughout, although her character barely makes it half way through the picture. It's also rather obvious that she came directly from "Strait-Jacket", and this would cement her as a camp icon. Of course, you can't help but think, "Mommie Dearest, I promise I'll be good!" Two teenage girls (Andi Garrett and Sarah Lane) bored on a Saturday night, decide to make prank phone calls (oh, those glory days before caller ID!), and use the interpretive phrase, "I saw what you did - and I know who you are!" Be careful how you dial, girls, because macho psychopath John Ireland has just brutally ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on I Saw What You Did |

.September Affair City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Joan Fontaine, Joseph Cotten, Françoise Rosay, Jessica Tandy, Robert Arthur directed by: William Dieterle September 21, 1994 I have watched this movie a few days ago. Throughout I was wondering how I never purchased this movie earlier and made it part of my collection. The scenary was great; the exotic Capri locations made every moment sheer delight. Joan Fontaine is perfect for the role she portrayed. Francoise Rosay, who plays Fontaine's friend and mentor, happens to be a very famous and talented French actress. The antique furniture shown in her villa was absolutely tasteful and beautiful. I highly recommend this movie to all of those who collect classics. >>See More Reviews & Details on September Affair |

.Backtrack City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Dennis Hopper, Jodie Foster, Dean Stockwell, Vincent Price, John Turturro directed by: Dennis Hopper, Alan Smithee September 08, 1993 I am a big fan of the flick, which I just happened on to one day on the telly. I had to run out and find a copy to rent. And now here I am online buying the dvd and the vhs versions. I think the scene where she comes out of the bathroom in Milo's requested wear, and she, despite herself, starts to get turned on by him is one of the most erotic scenes ever filmed: he's standing behind her and her expression changes from fear and anger and loathing to just melting, okay with still a little bit of loathing. Hostess Snoballs have never been the same for me since (if I recall, the snoball scene is how we realize they truly love each other), making snoballs one of the ten most erotic foods ever??? >>See More Reviews & Details on Backtrack |

.Grey Owl City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Pierce Brosnan, Annie Galipeau, Renée Asherson, Stephanie Cole, Nathaniel Arcand directed by: Richard Attenborough August 15, 2000 I'm not usually a Pierce Brosnan fan but after I got over my initial doubts about him playing a Native Indian, I actually started to really get into this movie. Maybe it is somewhat romaticized but the underlying message of this film is more Important than ever.It was a refreshing change from other movie genres...I especially liked the Baby Beavers who are super cute A must for animal and nature lovers-D >>See More Reviews & Details on Grey Owl |

.Here Comes Mr. Jordan City Travel Guides > VHS > VHS starring: Robert Montgomery, Evelyn Keyes, Claude Rains, Rita Johnson, Edward Everett Horton directed by: Alexander Hall June 23, 1994 It is a shame that this delightful comedy isn't better known today. Part of the reason might lie in the fact that the film's star Robert Montgomery (father of Elizabeth Montgomery of BEWITCHED), after a stint in the military in WW II, did very little acting following the war. Therefore, he doesn't have many later films to draw attention to his career as a whole. Also, after the war he because deeply involved in political matters, and was one of Hollywood's more avid Communist hunters. For whatever reason, the film does not today have the reputation it deserves. There have been two remakes of this film, so some explanation is in order. HERE COMES MR. JORDAN was a film version of a play by Harry Segal titled HEAVEN CAN WAIT. There was a 1944 film by Ernst Lubitsch called HEAVEN ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Here Comes Mr. Jordan |
